With Hotline Miami 2 recently released, I realized I am really, really tired of games that belong in its genre. When I say "genre," I refer not to "action games" or "indie games" or even "violent games," but a subtler, more h...

[Ed. note: El Great Burcho published this on February 2007. It's one of our Golden favorites.]
No, I'm not being ironic, or corny, or funny. Neither am I drunk, stoned, nor under the influence of outside forces requiring me t...

[Another gem from Destructoid's Golden Archives, this our most popular story of April 2008]
As you’ve no doubt been following the prospective U.S. presidential nominees, you must be asking yourself several question...

[This month, Destructoid turns 7 years old! Here's the top article of this weekend back in 2008. You can browse more of these in our Golden Archives. Nostalgic yet? -Niero]
Call me a weakling, but it's been more or less forev...

[Destructoid turns 7 on March 16, 2013! I'm celebrating early by repairing some of my favorite articles from our Wordpress days. You'll be able to browse this original collection soon -- "Destructoid's Golden Archives" is her...

You may or may not know that I am red-green colorblind. Money looks grey to me, pink looks white, brown looks green. No big thing. Since I was born colorblind, I have no frame of reference for how the world is "supposed" to l...

I don't like goodbye posts, generally. I can't count how many obviously insincere farewell posts I've read on innumerable blogs, where people whine and cry about missing the community and the people and the fun while silently...

The end, for now.
Podtoid will be going on hiatus for a while. It'll definitely be back -- we're just not sure when, or how, or with whom.
In the meantime, not-download a copy of the Super Mario Bros movie and enjoy.

It will also be my and Aaron's last Podtoid as Host and Other Guy, respectively.
I don't know if we'll have enough time for listener questions at the end, but I thought I'd throw this up on the off chance that someone asks a ...

Will you look at that -- it's the very first machinima episode of Hey Ash, Whatcha Playin.
It is, perhaps unsurprisingly, about Sleep is Death. It is a game that you should definitely consider getting if you and a friend each...

Jason Rohrer's Sleep is Death is now available to the general public. You should seriously consider buying it.
I've talked it up before (twice), but now's as good a time as any to check out this improvisational two-player sto...

This episode of Podtoid includes a lot of discussion about games and stuff, but in reality it's mainly about Brad Nicholson's knowledge of Robocop (and, ironically, his complete lack of knowledge regarding Buckaroo Banzai).
Also, the Big Looming Changes to Podtoid are announced a few minutes in.

What will we talk about on tonight's Podtoid? I really have no clue. I know that certain secretz™ about the future of the podcast will be revealed, but I'm not 100% sure what news stories we'll be covering.
The return o...

My favorite thing about this week's episode of Hey Ash, Whatcha Playin' is that more than a few commenters have championed it as the best example of HAWP's newer, fresher style, despite the fact that we filmed it about a year...

We talk about games and stuff in this episode, but the conversation doesn't really pick up until the final ten minutes. After the proper, let's-talk-about-videogames show ends, Adam Dork starts linking us to pictures of crabs...

Every month, the Destructoid Monthly Musing topic gives community members the ability to have their work posted on the Dtoid front page.
Our own Josh Tolentino came up with this month's theme. Thank him if you like it, blame ...
